A Change In Tactics

July 27, 2018 Leave a comment Go to comments

It looks like the Emperor Of All Maladies (EOAM) has changed tactics. Instead of full frontal assaults, which have been successfully repelled to date by the bi-weekly Opdivo infusions, the clever bastid has tasked his forces with executing several small, simultaneous, surgical strikes. In the short span of approximately one month, here’s what has happened:

  • A skyrocketing TSH level in my blood indicates a dying thyroid ==> Time for some Synthroid!
  • A blood CK level 10x higher than the recommended max indicates some form of muscle damage==> Time to stop taking pravastatin and start taking some prednisone!
  • Some swelling has been detected in my brain in the same location on 2 consecutive MRI scans ==> Time to start taking some decadron!

Whoo hoo, bring on those ‘roids and all the wonderful side effects that come along for “free”!
